A Taste of Summer: Kakigori at Cerulean Tower Tokyu Hotel

As summer approaches, the renowned Cerulean Tower Tokyu Hotel in Shibuya, Tokyo, is set to tantalize taste buds with its unique summer treat: kakigori, or shaved ice. The hotel’s Garden Lounge Zabou and Garden Kitchen Caramelo will serve this beloved seasonal dessert, featuring four exquisite flavors. Joining the classic offerings of Uji Matcha and Mango Coconut, this year's menu introduces refreshing new stars: Mixed Berry and Salted Caramel.

A Refreshing Summer Indulgence

The stunning kakigori selection is crafted year after year to delight guests. This summer, the vibrant Mixed Berry flavor captivates with its balance of tart raspberries and rich sweetened condensed milk. Additionally, Salted Caramel combines sweetness with a hint of salt for a delectable flavor experience that keeps diners coming back for more. The dessert lineup showcases the hotel’s commitment to quality, featuring a delicate syrup that's not overly sweet, allowing the natural flavors of the ingredients to shine through.

Each kakigori serving contains a hidden scoop of ice cream or a uniquely flavored sauce, with an accompanying drizzling syrup designed for customization. Guests can explore different taste combinations, either indulging with a generous pour or enhancing the dessert's essence with a lighter touch. This interactive eating experience encourages a delightful exploration of flavors.
